Chapter 317

Lucas deeply regretted it now. He should have listened to Donovan earlier; if he had, he would not have fallen for Xenia's trick yesterday.

If he had exposed her actions on the spot, Noelle wouldn't have been so angry, and Donovan's project wouldn't have lost the bidding opportunity.

Xenia stepped back a few paces. "Lucas, I did it for Donovan's investment and Frank's project. I didn't expect to be outwitted by Noelle!"

"Outwitted?"

"Yes, Noelle clearly set a trap and made us fall into it!"

He frowned. "You're the one who fell for it and dragged me in with you. It was your behavior and your scheme against Noelle that led to this disaster! This is all your fault!"

It had nothing to do with Noelle. It was Xenia's attempt to frame her that had failed.
